Hi, I’m looking for advice regarding a plastic surgeon. I had a c-section 13 years ago. It caused the skin to hang over the wound. I've had constant infections that have on many occasions required me to be hospitalized. This has been going on since my delivery. I've been trying to find a doctor or clinic in Toronto that does Penniculectomy which in this case should be covered by OHIP due to the constant health issues. My doctor has sent referrals to over 20 surgeons. They're all rejected. I'm not sure why. This situation is causing major issues to my quality of life. I don't want to end up dying of an infection that could have been completely avoided. I need some guidance because I'm completely losing hope I'II ever find someone willing to help me. I've been looking for years and I'm operating completely in the dark here. Any advice or suggestions of surgeons would be sincerely appreciated.
